REMO MURATORE (1912-1983) LOTTERIA IPPICA DI MERANO. 1949. 38 1/2x53 1/2 inches, 98x136 cm. N. Moneta, Milan. Condition B: expertly replaced margins; overpainting, restoration and restored losses in image. Muratore was an influential graphic designer who worked for the Avant-Garde magazine, Campo Graphico in the years before the Second World War and joined Studio Boggeri in 1937. After the war, along with Max Huber and Luigi Veronesi, he founded a prestigious advertising school in Milan called the Scuola Pubblicita Rinascita. There, they taught students who would later become among the elite of Italian art directors. Also an architect, Muratore won two gold medals at the Triennial of Milan in 1940 and 1954, and worked for RAI, Pirelli and the Piccolo Theater of Milan. Like his friend and colleague Max Huber, Muratore created visual arrangements based on a modern use of photography with bold colors, such as this sophisticated photomontage promoting a lottery.
